Re: [Aroid-l] Amorphophallus titanum goes Hollywood

I was going to post...sometimes my posts don't get posted. I posted it on
GW.
My boyfriend saw it but the plant he described wasn't a titanum. I was
excited that they even made mention of it though.

Subject: [Aroid-l] Amorphophallus titanum goes Hollywood

I'm impressed by how little television the members of Aroid-L watch ... no
one
has mentioned the mention of Amorphophallus titanum on CBS's "Crime Scene
Investigation" last night.

My attention was drawn from my computer by the words "amorphophallus
titanum"
(though not pronounced the way I normally hear it said) to see a shot of a
plant tag for, indeed, "Amorphophallus titanum". Since it was germane to
the
plot, they even remarked on a common name of "rotting corpse flower".

There was nothing in sight that looked remotely like a real A. titanum, of
course, or any amorphophallus, but hey, it's a mention of an aroid on the
number one show on prime time television here in the US - can "The Great
Aroid
Movie" be far behind?
